The Seven Practices

In PRINCE2 7, the seven 'practices' were known by which term in earlier editions?

  • a.Processes
  • b.Principles
  • c.Themes
  • d.Management products

PRINCE2 7 (2023) renamed the seven 'themes' to 'practices'. They are aspects of project management that must be addressed continually: business case, organizing, plans, quality, risk, issues and progress.

The Seven Practices

Which PRINCE2 practice is concerned with whether the project remains desirable, viable and achievable?

  • a.Business case
  • b.Progress
  • c.Quality
  • d.Organizing

The business case practice develops and maintains the justification, testing that the project is desirable (benefits vs. cost/risk), viable (deliverable) and achievable (benefits realisable) across its life.

The Seven Practices

Which practice provides the approach for identifying, assessing and controlling uncertainty that could affect the project's objectives?

  • a.Issues
  • b.Progress
  • c.Quality
  • d.Risk

The risk practice manages uncertainty, both threats and opportunities. It is supported by a risk management approach and a risk register that records identified risks and their responses.

The Seven Practices

The theme formerly called 'Change' is now covered by which PRINCE2 7 practice?

  • a.Plans
  • b.Issues
  • c.Quality
  • d.Business case

In PRINCE2 7 the 'Issues' practice handles requests for change, off-specifications and problems/concerns, controlled through issue and change control procedures rather than a separate 'Change' theme.

The Seven Practices

In addition to time, cost, quality, scope, benefit and risk, PRINCE2 7 recognises which further performance target to be managed?

  • a.Stakeholder satisfaction
  • b.Return on investment
  • c.Sustainability
  • d.Team morale

PRINCE2 7 adds sustainability as a seventh performance target alongside time, cost, quality, scope, benefit and risk, reflecting environmental and broader responsibility considerations in projects.
